Errors in judging “offside” in football and the role of expertise
ثبت نشده
چکیده
According to different studies (1,2), the flash-lag effect (FLE) may account for the errors that ASR make, not only in real life situations, but also in computer animations (3). The FLE is defined as a moving object that is perceived as spatially leading its real position at an instant defined by a time marker (in the particular case of judging offside the moment the ball is passed). The first aim of the present study was to examine the impact of the movement of the second last defender on the FLE. The second aim was to examine if international FIFA ASR can better deal with this perceptual problem than national ASR.

On Being in the Wrong Place: The Role of Children’s Conceptual Understanding and Ballgame Experience when Judging a Football Player’s Offside Position
We investigated the role of children's conceptual understanding and ballgame experience when judging whether a football player is in an offside position, or not. In the offside position, a player takes advantage of being behind the defence line of the opposing team and just waits for the ball to arrive in order to score a goal. We explained the offside rule to 7- and 9-year-old children with a ...
متن کاملInformation concerning the Submitted Abstract Errors in Judging Offside in Association Football: Comparison between the 2002 and 2006 Fifa World Cup
Helsen et al. (2006) observed that during the 2002 FIFA World Cup 26.2% of all the offside situations were assessed incorrectly. For this reason, FIFA made a lot of efforts to decrease the errors when judging offside. The aim of the present study was to analyse all the offside situations during the 2006 World Cup and to make a comparison with the 2002 World Cup. Across the 64 matches, we analys...
متن کاملHelsen, Gilis and Weston (2006) err in testing the optical error hypothesis.
In this commentary, we react to the recent study by Helsen, Gilis and Weston (2006) on judging offside in football. Helsen et al. claim that their data falsify the optical error hypothesis presented by Oudejans et al. (2000). However, as we will elucidate here, they misinterpret this hypothesis and present a data set that is seriously flawed, and hence not suited to test it. Therefore, their co...

This two-experiment study aims to investigate the role of expertise in offside decision making (Experiment 1) and the effect of perceptual-cognitive training (Experiment 2). In Experiment 1, a video-based offside decision-making task followed by a frame recognition task demonstrated a bias toward flag errors and a forward memory shift for less-successful elite-standard assistant referees that i...
